Movie: Sex and Lucia
Year: 2001
Director: Julio Medem
Language: Spanish
Synopsis: The movie begins with Lucia trying to console Lorenzo who is depressed. By the time she gets back home, he is gone. The movie then travels six years back when Lorenzo had met Elena for a night and they had shared exactly 3 piece of information with each other. They part ways and have no means of meeting again. Lorenzo is sitting at a café where he meets Lucia and she professes her love for him. They move in and start living together while Lorenzo starts a new book. Fate takes a turn when Lorenzo realizes that he has a daughter in the same city. He tries getting close to her through the nanny. I better not tell anything beyond this as it will spoil the fun :)
My own take: To say that the movie is complicated is an understatement. The strength of the movie lies in the plot. The story as it unfolds is like spaghetti has characters playing multiple roles in each others life. Though we have seen this concept in movies like “Crash” yet its different here. The characters are not ones in the outside of the other story but are an integral part. Somewhere in the story Lorenzo says that there is a hole in the story from which the story remerges at the top. Somehow the movie is also like that. Paz Vega is amazing in the movie
